On a more serious note....not to trivialise technique or anything....but I think
everyone feels their stubble growth and direction and intuitively adapts to the
landscape.

Reminds me of a great line from White Rabbit, a film on Rudolf Nureyev where
he says, "Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration".

Of course, shaving isn't the same as ballet but I get what he means.

No questions, but just so you know, it’s called “buffing”, not “buffering”. Maybe autocorrect got you, but just in case.....

Congrats on your new razor!!

Haha guess you all caught me. I do often talk about buffering issues with various videos, stream, networking ect between friends with googles new auto suggest feature I guess that made it's way into my message numerous times. I do not proof read my post on these forums as often it is more for fun so small slip-ups like this or typing .05 vs .50 tends to happen often. I often get a chuckle when others point out these mistakes because it reminds me to proof read only for me to immediately think it is too much effort for a more laid back environment. The ultimate catch 22 of being OCD but also lazy / relaxed Smile

Indeed! However, I feel that is a lot of tradition within the art of wet-shaving as well, and sometimes these traditions are actually at a detriment to advancement. Often I wonder how many people travel off the beaten path to try new technique once they know the tradition patterns. Suffice it to say I very really see or hear of anyone experimenting and while you might get a good shave; it could be better. Or it could be worse; knowledge it power in my books. I think there is a good middle ground someone we just need people on both end of the spectrum so others can find this middle ground themselves. But I believe LOOT might be right need to start my own thread instead of posting here; leave the thread to the Wolves Smile

I love a well balanced Lazy OCD point of view Henery... Cool

The 'Middle way' is also that of the Buddha's teachings, perhaps Buddha mapped his shaves using the thousand petalled Lotus flower technique....

I wonder if Buddha would have liked a Wolfman?..(in basic finish of course)...

Read Buddha's 'Fire Sermon', and relate that to our acquisition disorders. The Max Muller translation in 'Teachings of the Compassionate Buddha' is the one I like best. 

If you have never read Siddhartha by Herman Hesse get a copy, you'll love it. There are various translations, the one I've read over and over is by Hilda Rosner.
